Weather: SE force 2/3
A quiet day weatherwise and birdwise. A quick mid-morning visit found 192 Brent around the island at low tide with small waders being very scarce, just one Purple Sandpiper was seen although quite a few more must be here, while one Ringed Plover, 25 Turnstone and 19 Dunlin fed on the shore. Three Little Egrets were about reef area and a single Grey Heron was off the west side.
Firty five Common Scoter were mostly at least a few hundred yards off the north end although 2 rested on the sea closer in.
As the tide approached 1,000 Knot wheeled east of the island, by this time the light was already poor with some cloud and the early twilight.
